Depression
By

Depression
is like being at the beach
And
you’re standing in front of the waves.
It
will hit you repeatedly
and
you can try to resist
but
once the waves get too high
you’ll
fall under the pressure.
Once
that happens
you’re
under.
Your
eyes begin to burn
because
they can’t stand
to
look at what they don’t
want
to see and even if you try,
everything
is out of focus anyway.
People
can try to help
but
they don’t understand that
it’s
not just problems with sight.
Their
words can’t penetrate the water
that
fills your ears.
This
leaves you deaf to their cries
and
the loneliness sinks in.
You
believe there’s no hope
that
there is nothing to live for
so
what’s the point of having air
in
your lungs?
It’s
better just to invite the water
and
let it pull you down further
by
then it’s too late.
Hands
try to reach you
but
your too heavy to pull up.
The
numb sensations start
and
you move by involuntary reflex.
Your
end comes and the wave
takes
you out into the ocean.
People
think it’s a sign of selfishness
and
they don’t deserve the attention.
You
are in the right state of mind.
so
how can you possibly understand
what
you may have never experienced.
In
the mind of someone depressed
you
are the selfish one.
You
say you want them around
because
seeing you makes them happy.
But
their life is miserable
so
to them you’re saying,
“You
want them to stay alive
so
they can remain miserable?”
It’s
a powerful and destructive
Disease.
If
you disagree with me then fine
but
I speak from experience.
I’ve
been depressed,
I’ve
been angry at the world,
and
I still fight with it
even
to this day.
Yes
others have it worse.
Some
people drink
while
others smoke
and
some do even worse.
Depression
is a powerful wave
that
has taken many lives.
To
those still fighting
You’re
in my prayers.
